Under the Callaway systm, a player's handicap is determined after each round by deducting from his gross score for 18 holes the scores of the worst individual holes during the first 16 holes.  The table below shows the number of "worst holes" score he/she may deduct and the adjustment to be made, based on his/her gross score.  For instance, if his/her gross score for 18 holes is 96, he/she turns to the table and oppsite that score finds that he/she may deduct the total for his/her three worst holes scored on holes 1 through 16 inclusive.  Thus, if he/she has one 9, one 8 and a 7, his handicap totals 24.  From this total, further plus or minus adjustment is then made according to the adjustment at the bottom of each column.  For a gross score of 96, the adjustment requires a deduction of 2, resulting in a final handicap of 22.  Thus, 96 minus 22 handicap equals a net score of 74.
